I just built a home in AZ after living in GA all my life.  I purchased a more western theme set of dishes along with this platter to match it.  The platter arrived quickly and wrapped in bubble wrap to make sure it didn't break.  I love it!!  It is beautiful and will be a lovely asset to the set of dishes I also purchased.  I am one happy woman to own this very pretty and useful platter.  Simply, it makes my day to own this colorful platter to use everyday.
